This is the sixth in our Namegame puzzle series
dealing with past presidents. Study the short biogra
phies below and name the president described in each
on the answer line provided for you. They're not easy.
In fact, we've given you only four this week. So, think
carefully. (Bet you won't get them all correct!)

1. Although a greater amount of "Trust Busting"
occurred during his administration, his predecessor is
usually associated with this policy. His use of "Dollar
Diplomacy" in regard to Latin America also was an out
growth of the past administration's "Big Stick" policy.
After being defeated for re-election, he was called
again to serve his country as a Supreme Court justice.
He is one of only two president's buried in Arlington
National Cemetery.

2. This man was elected on a platform which
promised a "return to normalcy." He failed to fulfill
this pledge, however. His administration, in fact, was
rocked by scandal. He died in his third year in office
after becoming ill on a return trip from Alaska and
was succeeded by "The Great Stone Face."

3. Our fifth president, he was the last of the
"Virginia Dynasty." Under his auspices, his secretary
of state, John Quincy Adams, formulated a policy of
nonintervention by European nations into the affairs of
the Western hemisphere, which became a cornerstone
of American foreign policy. His administration became
known as the "Era of Good Feeling."

goal to go
What do you plan to
do with your life?
Only in high school,
you say? Now is the
time to start planning,
especially if you intend
to go to college. If
you're a junior, in
fact, you should already
be shopping around.
That's right—shopping.
And remember, time is
important.
Here is a sort of "in
sider's guide" to help:
1. Look around, by
studying college cata
logs, at the different
types of schools and
the education they
offer. All have very
different atmospheres.
2. Establish a second
set of criteria: How far
away from home do you
want to be and how much
can your family afford to
spend per year on your
education?
3. Patience pays off.
Draw up a set of prefer
ences. Concentrate on
that type of school in
which you're interested,
but keep looking around.
4. Find out which
schools fit your pri
mary interests best.
5. Make a list of
five to 10 schools in
which you're interest
ed. Mix them well.
6. Apply to as many
of these colleges as
your family can afford.
7. Visit as many of
your potential schools
as possible.
8. Talk to students
at the colleges at which
you've applied. Stu
dents can best tell you
what life at a particu
lar college is like.
9. Don't exclude a
school from your list
because the cost seems
too high. Most have
scholarship funds.
10. Check with your
high school counselor
about local scholar
ships available.
11. Choose a college
with a well-rounded cur
riculum. After all, you
might want to change
your major—but not
your college.
12. Finally, look at
things other than the
college itself, espe
cially if two or more
schools seem equal.
Nearness to other
schools, for example,
may make your weekends
more enjoyable.
'Nuff said. Go to it
and good luck.

4. Our 15th chief executive, he assumed the of
fice of president upon the death of Zachary Taylor. He
desired a compromise on the slavery question but was
a firm supporter of the Fugitive Slave Law (all slaves
who fled to the North were to be returned to their
masters). He lost his bid for re-election in 1856 after
being nominated by the Whigs and the anti-Catholic
"Know Nothing Party."

A great many people dislike be
ing told what to do. At the same
time some kind of authority must
be exercised to keep order. This is
especially true in matters of faith
and morals. If left to himself, man
can “reason” to some terribly
wrong conclusions.
Our Lord recognized this. That
is why He established His Church.
He Himself spoke and acted with
authority. People were quick to
notice this. It was in sharp con
trast to the ways of the Scribes
and the Pharisees. They always re
peated what other teachers had
said before them.
Jesus, on the other hand, seldom
referred to what former men had
said. He spoke in His own name
and acted by His own power. In
fact, one of His favorite phrases,
“I say to you,” was spoken as one
who had the right to teach.
At Capharnaum on one occasion,
He was interrupted while teaching
in the synagogue. A man began to
scream. Then, running to the front,
he fell to the floor.
Jesus spoke decisively: “Hold
your peace and go out of him.”
Immediately, with a loud cry, the
man relaxed on the ground. His
illness had left him.
The people whispered and won
dered: “What word is this, for with
authority and power He commands
unclean spirits, and they go?”
A few days later, a man strick
en with leprosy ran up to Jesus
and pleaded: “Lord, if you will,
you can make me clean.” And Our
Lord stretched out His hand,
touched the man and said: “I will.
You are cleansed.”
Again, onlookers were impressed
by the authority with which Christ
acted. He had purposefully shown
His power to cure physical and
mental ills. What He could do for
bodies He also would do for souls.
We can make plans, but they
do not always work out. Still,
changes can, sometimes, be for the
better. Take St. Anthony of Padua.
St. Anthony was horn in Lis
bon, Portugal, and baptized Ferdin
and. At an early age he became a
Canon Regular of St. Augustine.
Then, in 1220, the bodies of the
first Franciscan martyrs were
transferred to Portugal from Moroc
co and Ferdinand was deeply stir
red. He asked permission, in fact,
to transfer to the Franciscan Or
der. His superiors were reluctant,
but they finally approved.
As a Franciscan, Ferdinand be
came known as Anthony and he
was assigned to Africa. He had
scarcely landed on the continent,
however, when he fell ill and was
REMEMBER: In carrying out His
mission of salvation, Jesus acted
with full authority. While doing so,
He did not ignore the physical
needs of the people.
THOUGHT: Religion has been criti
cized as focusing too much on hap
piness in the next world and not
enough on misery in this one. What
would you say to this?
ordered to come back home.
On the return journey, a storm
carried his ship to Sicily. Regain
ing his health there, he traveled to
Assisi where he met St. Francis.
Under the guidance of the Fran
ciscan founder, Anthony began his
great work in Italy and France.
He possessed marvelous power
as a preacher. As a result, every
where he went crowds flocked to
hear him. And his sincere charity
touched the hardest of hearts.
St. Anthony spent his last years
at Padua, where he died at 36.
The fact is, when illness al
tered his earlier plans for mis
sionary service in Africa, he placed
himself entirely in God’s hands—
and became the greatest preacher
of his age. ■
